Author(s): Bornini Bhattacharjee, Rojina Khatun and Malavika Bhattacharya*
Bone is a sensitive organ in our body that produces organisational proteins, reserves minerals and metabolises proteins controlled by certain influences. The last few years of discoveries have shown that there is a broad spectrum of communication between the bone and the immune system in maintaining skeletal equilibrium. Disorder of bone metabolism is a group of diseases that affects bone health.Disorder of bone metabolism can be further characterised into three disorders: Osteoporosis, Osteomalacia and Paget’s Disease of Bone. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease that is marked by a reduction in bone mass, which usually increases fracture risk. The occurrence of osteoporosis is mostly seen in post-menopausal women and older people. A broadened bone disorder identified as osteomalacia is characterised by reduced calcium absorption, resulting in a buildup of osteoid or unmineralize.. Read More»
